We now know which gubernatorial candidates will be representing the two major parties on November's ballot -- York businessman Tom Wolf and incumbent Governor Tom Corbett.
Now that we're down to two, it's ever more essential that we make our voices heard so the next governor understands that an overwhelming majority of Pennsylvanians support clean energy.
Earlier this year, we announced the launch of Clean Energy Wins -- a campaign geared toward the 2014 governor's race.
The mission of Clean Energy Wins is simple: to engage bipartisan gubernatorial candidates, policymakers, clean energy businesses, and citizens about the economic, job creation, and environmental benefits of clean energy — and to identify practical policies that can be implemented to realize those benefits.
In March, PennFuture released the Clean Energy Wins policy roadmap, a report that will help inform the state's next governor and the General Assembly about policies that can grow Pennsylvania’s clean energy economy. (It's a great read, I promise.).
Since then, we have briefed gubernatorial candidates and policymakers of all political stripes on the roadmap, presented at events, and hosted virtual briefings on the report. There will be more to follow this summer and into the fall.
But we can't do this without you. Please add your name to our Clean Energy Wins campaign and tell us why you are a clean energy voter.
